[Q] Forced Factory Reset, PLZ help me reroot BNTV-250A

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.......this is my first post but I have spent ALOT of time reading on here and i dont know where to go from here....I bought my nook Tablet from a friend and it came stock with 4.4.2. KIt Kat and somehow my son got my SD card that had my recovery and back ups on it and well to make a long story short, I went through a few endless boot loops, ROMS, sleepless nights on XDA and just about anything you can imagine untill it hit its 8th consecutive "loop" and here we are......biggest problem is though that I cant get into admin account on my computer sooooo....short of having to find a friends house to drag my kids off to to fix "Mommies toy" I really need some help if at all possible. My computer doesn't read this "new" nook because it was an Android the other day and I know what it feels like.....it was pretty hard having to wake up to a TOTALLY STOCK Nook from a 4.4 with TWRP and Paranoid Android.

Ps....if nothing else if anyone can point me in a real direction to reset my admin password on a HP running Windows 7 that would be great also, I would factory reset it but the settings require the password....its pretty crazy....Thank you in advance
Noob Mom :fingers-crossed

Does your SD card contain the CWM recovery and ROM backup and is still intact?

If so then you should be able to boot off the SD card into recovery (by inserting a powered USB into the NT while it's in power-off state) and and restore from back up.

Please forgive me but tell me exactly where and what I need to look for to make sure, I have a wifi file explorer opened up on my nook because I cant re-install the drivers on my Win7 pc because of the stupid ADMIN password. So can i just add\delete\move....whatever files necessary around to make it work or am i going to have to be able to connect it to my pc?? Also, when you say for me to just restore from back up, how would i do that because i cant seem to be able to boot into anything except Factory "N".

The process for restoring from SD card using SD-based CWM recovery is as follows:

1. Put the SD card into the NT, and boot from its power off by inserting a powered USB cable. Press and hold the N button as soon as CyanoBoot comes up to get the boot menu to display. Use volume up/down buttons to navigate, N button to select, and Power button to return to a parent menu.
   
2. Select "SDC Recovery" to load CWM recovery.
   
3. Select "Backup and restore".
   
4. Select "Restore from SD card".
   
5. ...
   
6. Select "Reboot".

Gosh...I only wish it was that easy....I cant get it to the CyanoBoot menu anymore.....I guess the factory reset wiped it all off....and i have back ups and recoveries all over the place Im just not sure if everything is where it needs to be or if I just need to try and start over....if so, where should I start because most of the forums I have found are older and the links dont work.....

Oh yea, I almost forgot.....my Windows 7 PC will now recognize my nook,I am just unable to install anything to the computer or run anything as an administrator.....also.....my first problem really still is that I cant get into the hidden settings to allow 3rd party apps....I must just be missing something because it really shouldn't be this hard.....Thanks
